Question: How did AVS ensure patient safety while continuing to provide expert vascular care during the COVID-19 pandemic?
Dr. Dooley’s Response: "From the very beginning of the pandemic, we made it our mission to protect both our patients and staff while ensuring people received the vascular care they needed. We implemented strict screening protocols, staggered scheduling, and enhanced sanitization measures to minimize risk and maximize safety. Patients checked in from their cars, waited in private rooms instead of lobbies, and were thoroughly screened before entering the office.
As a small private practice, we had to be proactive, adaptable, and thorough—and our incredible team stepped up to make it happen. Thanks to these measures, we were able to catch positive cases before they entered our office, refer patients for appropriate treatment, and continue safely caring for those with urgent vascular conditions. We want patients to know that delaying necessary vascular treatment isn’t the answer—our practice is *committed to providing safe, effective care no matter the circumstances."
